I am so happy to see there is huge movement in country music. We are not only seeing a resurgence of the more traditional country sound that many of us have been missing but it is coming from the ladies. The ladies seem to be the ones who are making the most real and honest music out there right now and I am thrilled to see it. We seeing the beginning of a new revolution. There was a time when the ladies like Reba, Faith, Trisha, Martina and more ruled the charts and then for some reason the format got filled up with testosterone. Those days are over thanks to the ladies of country.

Maddie and Tae made a big splash with "Girl in a Country Song" and Cam had one of the biggest songs of the past year with "Burning House", Kelsea Ballerini has exploded on the scene and now the ladies just keep pouring out the hits. There are several new acts that you need to be aware of that you are going to be hearing a lot of this year. Tara Thompson, who we just had The Boot Grill for a New From Nashville this past Monday, is going to be a star. She is just as country as can be and proud of it. She writes and sings and commands the stage in a way that you can't help but fall in love with. Brandy Clark has been known by many as a great writer for some time and now you about to know her as an artist and boy are you in for a treat. Her upcoming album is going to knock you out including the single "Girl Next Door" which will be one the biggest hits of the year. Maren Morris is currently blowing up the charts with her monster smash "My Church" and I personally cannot get enough of it. These are just a few of the great new female artists that are making noise in our format and there are many more to come. Keep it coming ladies. Country music has missed you.
